Callahan House Advisory Board, May 13, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado's Callahan House Advisory Board met on May 13, 2026, to discuss various ongoing projects and administrative matters related to the historic Callahan House. Key procurement-related topics included the restoration and preservation of furniture and the fountain, with a noted $20,000 quote received from a citywide awarded vendor for fountain repairs, though additional quotes were being sought. The board also discussed pursuing a grant of up to $15,000 for the formal garden plan, which would cover materials but not labor, and considered volunteer labor and future budget requests. Additionally, the board approved the 2025 Callahan House annual report including updated financials, and voted to appoint two board members to a recruitment committee. There was also discussion about potential consolidation or restructuring of boards and outreach efforts to increase community involvement. Finally, the board explored options for hosting a video release event with a local studio, considering donation-based attendance. No formal motions related to new contracts or capital projects were recorded beyond the approval of the annual report and committee appointments.
